Has Mullvad ever been given a court order to reveal personal info about a user? (lemmy.ml)

I've been reading through Signal's government requests and couldn't find a similar section on Mullvad's website. I'd be curious to read about them if there are any. It would seem unlikely to me that Mullvad has never received any kind of court order for information about a user.

They'd get nothing helpful from Signal either and yet governments still do it. Governments often don't know what they're doing and are used to just being able to ask companies for user data

Nothing majorly helpful. They show account creation date, last seen date with time stamps for creation and last seen. Phone number used to register, account ID as a number, sealed sender from anyone such as true or false, find your account by contacts true or false. Badges by number such as 1 or 0. And user agent as letters. That's about it. Anyone can pull their log file they keep under account settings anytime inside the app.
